Ascuba diver swam 96 feet beneath the surface of the lake. he then climb up 49 feet .wat is the depth now?

The depth now is 47 feet below the surface of the lake

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine initial depth

Initial depth=surface level-depth below surface

where;

Surface level=0, since its the point of reference

depth below surface=96 feet

replacing;

Initial depth=(0-96)=-96 feet

Step 2: Final depth

Final depth=Initial depth+distance covered

where;

Initial depth=-96 feet

distance covered=+49 feet since the scuba driver moves towards the surface

replacing;

distance covered=-96+49=-47 feet

The depth now is 47 feet below the surface of the lake

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.
